NEW CONCUSSION LANGUAGE FOR 2010-11 NFHS SPORTS RULES BOOKS
As passed by the NF Directors October 2009:
"Any athlete who exhibits signs, symptoms or behaviors consistent with a concussion (such as loss of consciousness, headache, dizziness, confusion, or balance problems) shall be immediately removed from the contest and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health care professional."
The MHSAA Representative Council will determine in March or May who will decide and when athletes may be cleared for return to play. Updates will be available on MHSAA.com.
